Why multiple myeloma returns
26/04/2022 - Multiple myeloma, the most common type of bone marrow cancer in Germany, almost always returns, even after initial treatment success. In the majority of cases, the reasons behind this treatment...
Gene network changes associated with cancer onset and progression identify new treatment targets
26/04/2022 - Researchers have identified novel changes in gene network interactions associated with cancer that may lead to new treatment targets for chemotherapy. Their work shows that more than 90 percent of...
Researchers identify genetic cause of endometriosis and reveal potential drug target
26/04/2022 - New research offers insight into how to treat endometriosis. The researchers performed genetic analyses of humans and rhesus macaques to identify a specific gene, NPSR1, that increases risk of...
Computer drug simulations offer warning about promising diabetes and cancer treatment
26/04/2022 - Using computer drug simulations, researchers have found that doctors need to be wary of prescribing a promising treatment for all types of cancer and patients.
Study on genetic changes in neuroblastoma
26/04/2022 - When cells within a single tumor differ in terms of their genetic makeup, this is referred to as intratumor heterogeneity. Researchers have been able to reconstruct the process by which this genetic...
Teaching an old dog new tricks: An existing drug opens new possibilities for treating childhood leukemia
26/04/2022 - A new study has shown that the tumor-inhibiting gene TET2 is silenced in a large fraction of cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children. The scientists show that the gene can be...
How well do boosters work? Depends on your genes
26/04/2022 - Genetics play an important role in how our bodies respond to vaccines and booster shots, suggesting that certain protective responses elicited by vaccination could be more effective with...
Doctoral student finds alternative cell option for organs-on-chips
26/04/2022 - Organ-on-a-chip technology has provided a push to discover new drugs for a variety of rare and ignored diseases for which current models either don't exist or lack precision. In particular,...
Cardiovascular disorder genetic testing in children presents unique challenges
26/04/2022 - Genetic testing for cardiovascular disorders is rapidly expanding, including among children. In its first scientific statement focused on the issue of cardiovascular genetic testing specifically...
Researchers create personalized organoid models for rare spinal cancer
26/04/2022 - A new study adds to a growing body of evidence that organoids -- lab-grown collections of cells that mimic a patient's tumor -- are a promising avenue for drug discovery to improve outcomes in...
Measuring cancer cell state can reveal drug susceptibility
26/04/2022 - Pancreatic cancer cells can exist in, and transition between, three different cell states, according to new research. These states respond differently to a variety of cancer drugs, and altering the...
